I pass by hundreds of people everyday on my way to work in Chicago. Most people walk with purpose and speed – they&#8217;re most likely on their way to work or they have somewhere important to be.

		<description><![CDATA[On my way to the train station, I came across this ad for Cottonelle&#8217;s Roll Poll campaign. The sign encourages people passing by to vote if they have the toilet paper roll over or under. I thought it was nice way to keep people entertained while waiting for the bus. Oh, and I voted over.
